Submission Deadline: April 30th by 9PM
Drop-off / Pick-up:
Artists must coordinate with their assigned host business for drop-off / pick-up. Drop-offs occurring after the coordinated time may not be able to participate in the Art Walk. Art that isn't picked up by the coordinated time may be put into storage at the artist's own risk and liability.
Responsibilities:
- The Art Walk Committee is responsible for accepting artists and assigning artists to a host business, as well as connecting the two parties via email.
- Artists and host businesses together are responsible for coordinating drop-off / pick-up, setting up the art for display and coordinating any other logistics for a successful showing.
- Artists are responsible for drop-off and pick-up by the agreed upon date & time with the host business.
- Artists are responsible for facilitating any sales of their own artwork by leaving contact information (i.e. QR code, business card, etc.) with the host business. Host businesses are *not* expected to transact on any sales made by artists, however host businesses must make artist contact information readily available to general customers. Customers should be instructed to contact the artist for purchases of art.
- Host businesses are responsible for keeping the artist's work safe and secure between the point of drop-off and the point of pick-up. Host businesses will take reasonable precautions to keep the art safe and secure, but are not responsible for any damages that may occur as a result of a late pick-up while the work sits in storage.
